I have seen a couple of your posts before and I am always impressed. Is that a laser etch or a decal on the neck plate?

Laser etch

That's a stunning piece of craftsmanship any musician would be proud to own!

I was compaining in your other thread that you only had solid colours and not showing off the beautiful laminated woodwork, it's great to see that wood. Now maybe a dark ruby red clear on the next one?

As another suggestion I think the whole guitar is very "smooth and curvy" which works great, apart from the pickguard plate screws which i think let it down a bit being bumpy little philips heads.

You could go to flat topped countersunk stainless socket heads, which gets you back to "smooth" but looks a little high tech.

As a perfect look I think you could use an under-plate, with a couple screws totally hidden under the large knobs or using the knob nuts to secore the show plate above the underplate. Likewise your pickup switch nut can do the same at the other end. You could have a totally smooth screw-free black pickguard plate!
